"Other examples of powerful high-fi tools came from Kel Smith in his talk, 'Innovations in Accessibility: What We Can Learn From Digital Outcasts,' explaining how some patients, left behind by other mobile solutions are creating their own.

Both solutions are tools for patients who want to be in control of their health, personalizing their tools and tailoring them to fit their needs."
